4. Which one is continuous delivery again???

5. Continuous Delivery Defined
Continuous delivery is a software
development methodology where the
release process is automated.
Every software change is automatically
built, tested, and deployed to
production.
Source: Amazon
Before the final push to production, a
person, an automated test, or a business
rule decides when the final push should
occur.
Although every successful software
change can be immediately released to
production with continuous delivery, not
all changes need to be released right
away.

6. So you're telling me continuous delivery is ghen
ghen abi?
What has been happening before now? Oya

7. The Old BAE
We were basically
uploading and
downloading files.

Continuous Integration
(CI)

9. Continuous Integration
CI - Continuous integration is a
software development practice
where members of a team use a
version control system and
integrate their work frequently
to the same location, such as a
master branch.
Each change is built and verified
by tests and other verifications in
order to detect any integration
errors as quickly as possible

10. CI / CD
Continuous integration
(CI) is focused on
automatically building and
testing code, as compared
to CD
Continuous delivery (CD),
which automates the
entire software release
process up to production.
